I installed bin01 by ftping the files from another machine but due to lack of disk space I decided to put all the source on a NFS mounted disk. I have src01.cpio on the local hd and /usr/src mounted from a Sun server (4.1.3). Files are transferred to the server until at some point (2-10 minutes from the start) the system decides to endlessly wait for something and I have to resort to ctrl-alt-del. No error messages are displayed and all processes not waiting for i/o are still being serviced so the culprit might be the IDE disk (a Seagate ST1144A). I have tried the latest kernel (pk0.2.1) from agate. It seems that these lockups only occur while data is transferred FROM the pc, since I can ftp (get) 40 megs of files without any problems. The pc usually ends up hanging if files are transferred out from its hd. Does anyone have similar problems? Jari -- Jari Artes jari.artes@mikrolog.fi
